"Tuvimos una muy buena experiencia. El hotel es muy cómodo, acogedor y todo estaba muy limpio. La atención fue excelente en todo momento y el personal siempre fue muy amable. Solo tuvimos un pequeño detalle con el agua, ya que al principio no salía lo suficientemente caliente y en San Cristóbal, con el frío, sí se agradece muchísimo, pero lo reportamos y lo solucionaron. No está ubicado en el centro, pero está a unos 5 minutos en auto y es muy fácil tomar un taxi; a nosotros nos costaba aproximadamente $60 llegar al centro. Fuera de eso, todo estuvo genial. Nos sentimos muy a gusto durante nuestra estancia y sin duda fue una estancia muy agradable."
